Lancelot Brown: A very capable landscape creator

He is said to be to landscaping what Turner is to painting, and Wordsworth is to poetry — and the legacy of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown remains for all to see in immense parklands and gardens throughout his native England.

Now, there’s a chance to see his work during the Capability Brown Festival, launching next week on February 25, which brings together a huge range of events, openings and exhibitions but primarily featuring his historic landscapes.
